UNSPSC 50364628: Canned or jarred korean melons

The variety of melons known as korean melons that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364628 Canned or jarred Korean melons, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity grounded in a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. The single representative opportunity in the recent block—Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce, due July 31, 2026—bears no relation to Korean melons; the applesauce specification explicitly rejects artificially sweetened products and requires USDA 2011 commodity canned fruit compliance, delivery in five truckloads of 4,760 cases to the Central Distribution Center in Salem, and firm pricing on a per-unit basis including all transportation and fuel surcharges on FOB destination terms. The historical award price was $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales in June 2026. Bidders must maintain general commercial liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence and $2 million for multiple claimants. This code shows no recent relevant activity for canned or jarred Korean melons specifically; the procurement taxonomy appears to have been applied to a broader canned fruit category rather than the narrow product line the code nominally describes.

The code's limited recent activity and the absence of any actual Korean melon solicitations indicate low current market demand or misalignment between the code assignment and state and local purchasing patterns in the visible opportunity set. Absent concrete evidence of active procurement under this specific commodity classification, the code warrants a skip recommendation for business development purposes focused on Korean melon supply.
